Colleges and Universities around the Northern United States are aggressively building indoor practice facilities which are proving to keep their golf teams sharp and keep their spring scores lower than ever.

Recruiting Top Golf Talent

Historically schools located in areas with a 10-12 month golf season were able to gobble up all the top talent, leaving only the next level talent for the Northern Schools. Well guess what? We have some good schools up here and the addition of a high end indoor practice facility will make a significant difference while recruiting top level players from around the country.

Bring on the Winter!

Not sure? Take a look at the recruiting efforts of Illinois, Purdue, Michigan State and Northwestern who were all able to attract top talent from the US and beyond for both Men’s and Women’s programs. The common bond in these programs? Indoor golf practice facilities on campus.

We worked with University of Dayton Golf Coach, Gip Hoagland, to build a fully portable indoor golf facility with a 15′ x 60′ roll up putting green, a 6′ x 14′ green with base system as well as chipping and hitting mats.

Saginaw Valley State University and Head Coach Joe Vogl called on Pro Putt Systems to help design and build their 1,900 square foot indoor golf facility in a mezzanine level of their new field house on campus. The team will be adding a Foresight Sports Simulator in the coming weeks to round out one of the finest indoor golf facilities in the region.

How Can Pro Putt Systems Help Your School?

The first thing to understand is that we can help you build an indoor golf facility that can fit any budget. We’ve completed projects ranging from over $100,000 to as little as $2,000. Some schools do not have the space or the budget to build massive facilities. Many choose to utilize portable greens and even roll up applications in order to share gym space with other sports.

Our core business is designing greens that utilize Tour Links interlocking base panels, they’re durable, highly functional and when matched with our turf offer the smoothest and most consistent ball roll as well as awesome check and roll for chip shots.

If you have a specific amount of space and you’d like to maximize it but, you don’t know where to start, no problem, we can make suggestions to maximize the practice functionality at the best price available.
